Public bug reported: Some time ago we merged change https://review.openstack.org/#/c/227319/ that removes HEADS file. Validation of migration revisions using HEADS file was replaced with pep8. This allows us to avoid merge conflicts that appeared every time a new migration was merged.
The problem is that the original idea of HEAD file was not only to validate revisions, so as not to allow outdated changes go into merge queue, that could be very important for the end of the cycle when a lot of patches get approved. ** Affects: neutron Importance: Undecided Assignee: Ann Kamyshnikova (akamyshnikova) Status: New ** Tags: db -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
